Well, my issues are more related to not using credit to purchase things,
not wanting a link to my id/credit history tagging along when I pay for
something, and not wanting to part with my money until I have product in
sight/hand. Currently ordering something on the net cant provide any of
this. Paying cash does.
I'd also like a way of being able to provide/prove my identity without
having links to my financial/credit data tagging along.
